- FY2018AdvancedAnnual report
「In the IoT field, we developed the world’s smallest sensor-network module and also provide development kits that allow users to build IoT systems easily. Adoption is currently expanding across a wide range of applications, including environmental management in office buildings, monitoring the operating status of production lines in factories, condition monitoring in logistics warehouses, and agricultural ICT. We are also developing a worker safety monitoring system based on demonstration tests at manufacturing sites.」
The sensor-network module progressed beyond the provision of development kits and adoption across a wide range of applications to the development stage for a worker safety monitoring system. - FY2017AdvancedAnnual report
「We developed and began mass production of the world’s smallest sensor-network module, which operates on a coin-type lithium battery with low power consumption and integrates an antenna, six-axis sensors (geomagnetic and acceleration), barometric pressure, temperature and humidity, and illuminance sensors with a Bluetooth® Smart module in a single package.」
Mass production began for the world’s smallest sensor-network module integrating Bluetooth and multiple sensors, with examples of adoption in building management, predictive maintenance, logistics and agricultural ICT. - FY2016First statedAnnual report
「As the IoT (Internet of Things) and M2M (Machine to Machine) markets continue to expand, we developed Bluetooth® Smart modules that can operate on coin-type lithium batteries through reduced power consumption and help reduce customers’ design burden by placing the antenna on the top of the module, and began mass production.」
Developed low-power Bluetooth Smart modules and began mass production.
